Semi Precious Weapons make flamboyant, high-energy rock influenced by '70s glitter rock and '80s dance-punk. Formed in New York City in 2006, the band debuted in 2007 with We Love You, an independent release featuring production from Tony Visconti and Mario McNulty. In 2008, it was released nationally on Razor & Tie. In 2010, the band released You Love You on Geffen and garnered an even wider audience opening for Lady Gaga. Two years later, the band relocated to Los Angeles to work on new material. Aviation, their third studio album, featuring production from Tricky Stewart (Beyoncé, Rihanna, Frank Ocean), was released in 2014. ~ Matt Collar
